Reference Architecture | Dynamic L4-L7 Service Insertion with Cisco ACI and A10 Thunder ADC
Figure 15: Associating service graph with a security contract
Once the service graph is applied and rendered, the A10 device will receive configuration through REST
API commands from the APIC. Table 1 shows the A10 Thunder ADC load balancing configuration after APIC
has rendered the service graph and pushed configuration to it. The management interface configuration is
preconfigured and doesn’t change. The Ethernet interface configuration, servers, service group and virtual servers
are configured by the APIC controller. The A10 Thunder ADC device configuration is managed and updated by
APIC in this deployment model and doesn’t require any manual interaction with the Thunder ADC devices.
The service graph status can be checked in the APIC GUI; if the service graph is rendered successfully, then the
status code is “applied,” but if the service graph rendering fails due to some error, the status code is “failed-to-
apply.” Figure 16 shows the service graph rendering status on the APIC GUI.
